Rising Indie Pop Artist to Perform at Great New York State Fair

Rising star Lizzy McAlpine will take to the Chevy Park Experience Stage on Sept. 2 at 2 p.m. at the Great New York State Fair.

The 22-year-old is gaining momentum in the indie/folk music realm. She amassed a following of more than 333,000 people on TikTok early in the pandemic. Her debut album, "Give Me a Minute," released in August 2020, has since been streamed millions of times on Spotify. Her second album, "five seconds flat," was just released two months ago.

"We're delighted to have Lizzy McAlpine join our array of performers during the Chevrolet Concert Series, keeping things fresh for music fans," said interim Fair Director Sean Hennessey. ""From the most-talked about new artists to oldies but goodies, 80s and 90s rock staples, to pop music, hip hop and R&B, the New York State Fair has a concert -- or several -- to suit any music fan's preferences."

All concerts in the Chevrolet Music Series are free with Fair admission. Concerts performed at Chevy Park stage in the New York Experience Festival Grounds (formerly known as The Experience Stage) are located beyond the Midway. All concerts at the Fair are sponsored by Chevrolet.

Founded in 1841, the Great New York State Fair showcases the best of New York agriculture, provides top-quality entertainment and is a key piece of the state's CNY Rising strategy of growing the Central New York economy through tourism. The 2022 Fair begins Aug, 24 and continues through Sept. 5.
